Amazon has quietly added a new perk to its Prime membership. The loyalty scheme unlocks next-day delivery on thousands of products at no extra cost, unlimited streaming from Prime Video, music streaming via Amazon Music, an upgraded Deliveroo account, cloud back-up for all of your photos, the list goes on…

And now, Amazon has added the ability to choose and download two Audible books to keep forever.


For a limited time, the US shopping giant is allowing Prime members to download choose two audiobooks to download and keep forever — even if you cancel your free trial immediately. That’s twice as many free Audible books as non-Prime members will be able to keep in the trial for the popular subscription service.

If you’re not already a Prime member, it’s possible to take out a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime membership too to unlock the better Audible deal. Alternatively, you can choose one free Audible book to download.

Even if you immediately cancel your free trial with Audible, you’ll still be able to listen and re-listen to the books you’ve picked out forever across all of your devices.

Audible usually costs £7.99 per month, so you’ll save an impressive £15.98 over the three months.

The last time Audible dropped in price was during the annual Black Friday sales in November 2023. However, it was discounted to £2.99 for 3 months — making this latest promotion a much better offer.

Audible memberships are available with either 1 credit or 2 credits each month.

These can be spent on an Audible book, a classic radio series, or some podcasts, like Alan Partridge: From The Oasthouse. Over the course of either two or three months included with the latest promotion, depending on your Prime membership status, you’ll be able to buy up to 3 audiobooks or series.

Audible is available on iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones and tablets, certain Kindle e-readers, Amazon Fire tablets, as well as smart speakers like the Amazon Echo, Echo Show, and Sonos, to name just a few devices. Progress is synced via the cloud, so you can pause in one app and resume in another without missing a sentence.

Amazon’s audiobook streaming service has boomed in popularity in recent years, with subscribers devouring fiction and non-fiction alike on packed trains during their daily commute, gym sessions, or while doing some household chores. If you can’t find time to curl up with a book, this latest giveaway could be a good moment to give the audiobook and podcast service a go.

If you don’t cancel during the two- or three-month free subscription period, Amazon will renew your Audible subscription on the current plan at the usual monthly rate.
